Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place hazelnuts on a baking sheet and toast until golden and fragrant, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees. Pulse in a food processor until just finely ground (do not grind into a paste).
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add flour, ground hazelnuts, and salt; beat until dough forms. If needed, drizzle in 1 to 2 tablespoons water, 1 tablespoon at a time, to help form a dough. Dough can be wrapped well in plastic and refrigerated up to 1 day or frozen up to 3 months (thaw in refrigerator before using).
- Roll dough into 1-inch balls and transfer to parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Press balls with tines of fork to flatten. Bake until edges are golden, rotating sheets halfway through, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer sheets to a wire rack and let cookies cool completely. Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days.
CHERMOULA
Chermoula is a pungent Moroccan herb sauce traditionally served with grilled fish. I think it's great with all sorts of other dishes, such as roasted cauliflower, roasted winter squash or chicken. Sometimes I stir a little into a couscous, too.

Steps:
- Coarsely chop the cilantro and parsley. A scissors is a good tool for this; point it tip down in the measuring cup and cut the leaves. Then place them in a food processor and chop very fine, or chop on a cutting board. You should have 1 cup finely chopped herbs.
- Place the garlic and salt in a mortar and puree. Add a small handful of the chopped herbs, and gently but firmly grind until the herbs begin to dissolve. Add another handful. When all of the herbs have been mashed, work in the spices, 1/3 cup olive oil and lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning. Add more olive oil or salt if desired. Serve with grilled fish and/or vegetables, or with chicken.
